If you run command-line klog, you'll see:
C:\Documents and Settings\mgrtcc>klog mgrtcc
Password:
** Can't determine local cell name!
Unable to authenticate to AFS because password was incorrect.

This is a bit more informative.  Where does klog try and find the ThisCell
information?

If I change my clock to the wrong time, I see:
C:\Documents and Settings\mgrtcc>klog mgrtcc
Password:
** Can't determine local cell name!
Unable to authenticate to AFS because server and client clocks are badly
skewed.

I find that interesting.  If it can't determine the local cell name, how
does it know which server to check the time against?
